Looking for some feedback

[TPinner@saltyfishaquariums]

We have been open for 6 weeks now, and have seen many of you-thank you!

Our store was built on the principle of listening to the voice of the customer, and that is why I am reaching out. Those of you who have been into our store, we would like to know what you want for us to have. We know the biggest thing is corals. Our coral/live rock setup is almost finished. Lights are hung, and system is runing. But what else? Lets us know what you want for us to carry either in livestock, or dry goods.

Thank you, Terry

I have still to make it out there.

I like the idea of a flat screen and a fridge:bigsmile: What I like most in a lfs is that I dont have to order through the internet and wait. . . So media would be nice carbon, gfo, pellets, . . .fish food, salt, etc . . .

I like this store, been there twice so far, mainly just to look around. I would like to see more equipment for sale. Terry already has plenty of room for various livestock, which is awesome. Also has room for an abundance of equipment, food, etc.

[TPinner@saltyfishaquariums]

Hey Billy,
We have a great section of dry goods (see pic below). We have a separate room dedicated to dry goods We carry five different brands of salt, carbon, gfo, and lots of fish food. But is there a particular brand you want to see? My belief is if you want it, others do to.

Hey Joe,
What kind of equipment? Protein skimmers, sumps, so on... Just trying to get a pulse on what we should focus on next.

Flat screen is going to happen, and so are the sodas. Beer and a couch, hmm...., might be a little hard.

Skimmers, lights (Especially LED), reef controllers, return pumps. As far as food, there is one particular brand I have came to love. IQF Pro Salt Krill. I have provided a picture for reference.

Here is a product description:
PROSALT KRILL :
This is the largest of the Krill family. ProSalt uses the finest quality Krill that are flash frozen and then packed with only the minimum amount of water. Good for all medium and large carnivoire and omnivoire fish.
(Available in 4oz flat pack, 8oz flat pack, 16oz flat pack, 10oz IQF and 5oz IQF, and 9oz ProPops in tub.)

I'm always looking for variety of frozen food. Not many places in town I can get Rod's or a similar type of food. I'm not really a fan of feeding multiple cubes and have yet to make my own food. However, in all honestly, I'm on the NW side of town so getting over there is a couple of times a year thing for me.

very nice - I have to admit I have not been by the store and plan on doing so very soon:bigsmile:
I normally like to get the kent salt for 200 gallons in a bucket, not sure what the other members get

[TPinner@saltyfishaquariums]

I will look into this brand Joe. Let me see if I can get it.

Yep, we carry Kent in the 200 bucket, and 50 gallon. Also carry Salinity, Red Sea, Instant Ocean, and Reef Crystals. I have found most members stick to a particular brand once he or she likes one.

Hi, we do carry Rods, Hikari, San Francisco Bay, and Ocean Nutrition frozen fish food. We also carry a large selection of flake and pellet foods. Understand about getting to the other side of town, I dont get over to the other side unless going to my parents.

Joe, what kind of reef pumps? Reeflo, Iwaki, Little Giant, or am I on the wrong track here?

We will carry some skimmers soon, but still deceiding on what brands. Lights are the same. If you have suggestions, would love to hear them.

Would also like to hear about any chemicals, maintenance supplies, or general products any of you like to use and want to see in our store.

I know we had spoke about ADA's a while ago, I ordered mine already but City pets dropped ADA from there vendors and texas needs an ada retailer, maybe yall should try and get that?

[Dean]

Hey Terry I was in there last week and am very impressed. Very clean set up! I can't wait to see what you stick the coral and anemone tanks with!

Guys and gals, if you haven't seen his store yet you need to get by there!

[TPinner@saltyfishaquariums]

Hi Zack,
in the very near future we plan on carrying ADA tanks.

Wow, that would be awesome! It might convince me to finally start a planted tank. I have everything I need except a tank. ;)

Stopped in on my way home from work yesterday afternoon and I have to say that I'm very impressed with the store so far. Very clean and organized! I would love to see you offer Reef Nutrition products, however, I know this decision somewhat relies on you finding a glass front fridge. I know corals are coming so I'll refrain from that broken record ;)

[Scream311]

I got one for you Terry,

bein that your my new closest store and fav hang out, and would rather not make the long trip to Bandera and Echkert

I am in need of a Large CUC of Ceriths Nassarius Nerites and Blue Leg Crabs

[TPinner@saltyfishaquariums]

Hey Chris, nice meeting you yesterday, and thank you for the compliments on the store. Reef Nutrition is on the list of coming soon products, and we hope to have stock very soon. You will hear it here first when we do.
